2000 BMW 3 Series 328 CI review from North America
"The ultimate driving machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Left front window started to make a cracking noise when driving over not-perfect roads at 18.000.
The driver's side window switch had to be replaced at 28.000.
Other than that, just regular maintenance.
This car is much more reliable than my previous 1997 Nissan Maxima.
General comments?
The car has V8 power with four banger gas mileage.
The handling is a good balance of sport and comfort.
Very comfortable. The seats are perfect and driving position is spot on.
Overall a great car.
